My Amaryllis
I got an amaryllis bulb,
Which was a lovely gift.
I knew that when it flowered,
It would give my heart a lift.
For weeks, the stalk was growing,
Then some buds came into view.
Now there’s one amazing flower;
Soon, it seems, there will be two.
When I looked for information
About amaryllis care,
I discovered they can bloom each year
And it’s not even rare
For an amaryllis bulb to last
For 40 years, but still,
I don’t plan (as per my husband)
To include it in our will.
